Hi all, my first contribution on this thread.
I received my Freestyle Libre 2 yesterday and have started to collect data.
I was 5.0 on waking this morning. The device has reported me going down to 3 overnight. I’m newly diagnosed and still trying to understand everything, but that low reading has me worried. I don’t wish to divert the thread, but any explanation/guidance would be welcomed.
Cheers

I believe it has something to do with the levels you're normally at rather than being T1 or T2.
I'm awful at anything in the low 4's or under I can't concentrate shaking and feel like I'm going to pass out .im awful at 3 ian really shakey i dont know if the factors are different for type 1s and type 2s x
its mad isnt it ,i can get very shakey in the low 3s but i have been in the low 2s and felt nothing ,also anything over 12 for me leaves me exhausted ...the life of a diabeticI am pretty shaky at 4, time to hit the raisins.
It gets really confusing that's for sure. Since I have started using the Libre 2 I hear the low alarm and think 'RAISINS!!' I love raisins, so every cloud has a silver lining. Amazing about the 2s for you, I would be in a heap on the floor at that point I am sure.its mad isnt it ,i can get very shakey in the low 3s but i have been in the low 2s and felt nothing ,also anything over 12 for me leaves me exhausted ...the life of a diabetic
i know what you mean about silver linings its kitkats for me or pickled onion space raiders although jelly babies at silly oclock do not have the same enjoyment ,im just waiting to be swapped from libre1 to 2It gets really confusing that's for sure.

ooooh, kitkats! When you get your Libre 2 you will learn to associate that alarm with kitkats.i know what you mean about silver linings its kitkats for me or pickled onion space raiders although jelly babies at silly oclock do not have the same enjoyment ,im just waiting to be swapped from libre1 to 2
Oh ok I'm on diamcronI suppose it depends on what medication you are on with mine ( metformin ) it is recommended to take with meals or just after , to help with the dreaded" metformin trots "
You have to complete a finger prick to check blood sugars below 4 and above 8 mmol/l. The Libre is a good trend guide but can be out by a couple of mmol/l.Hi all, my first contribution on this thread.
